Things You Will Need
Of course, water flow out of the fountain is subjective. Adjustments are more easily made with someone to help out.
-
Locate the screws that hold the cover of the drinking fountain in place, and remove them. You will need either a flat-blade screwdriver or a Phillips head to do this. Rotate the screws counterclockwise, and place the cover off to the side.
-
Locate the fountain head water adjustment screw. It will be found beneath the valve that activates the water flow, on the water feed pipe that supplies the fountain head.
-
Turn the valve handle or push the valve button to activate the water flow.
-
Insert the applicable tool into the adjustment screw. This tool may be a flat-blade screwdriver, a Phillips screwdriver or an Allen wrench head, depending on the model of the water fountain you are servicing.
-
Rotate the adjustment screw in a counterclockwise direction to increase water flow or in a clockwise direction to decrease water flow. Turn the screw in half-turn increments, and monitor what happens to the water pressure at the fountain head. Adjust the water flow accordingly, and make sure that there is enough flow for a comfortable drink.
-
Replace the cover when your adjustment is complete.
